Joe Igbokwe, special adviser to the governor of Lagos state on drainage and water resources, says he is ready to begin his “gutter worker”.
Igbokwe said this on Wednesday when he announced that he had assumed office. He also shared some pictures of his office on Facebook.
“In my new office today and ready to begin my gutter work,” he said.
This is coming on the heels of a backlash following his appointment by Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos.
Commentators on social media had mocked him on the appointment which they claimed had belittled his status.
Reno Omokri, ex-aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, had described Igbokwe’s portfolio as an issue of poetic justice.
Another had said Igbokwe’s portfolio makes him a special adviser on Lagos gutters affairs.
However, there were no controversial comments on his Facebook post.
One Owemidu Tobi Marthins congratulated him and wished him well.
“Congratulations, sir. May the lord work with you. I admonish you to c the appointment as a privilege for a call to service. Please, remember the teeming unemployed youths if opportuned. Regards,” he said.
Another Adetunji Lams said: “Congratulations. Let’s do it together, in fact, we are together in this jare.”
Polise Eteiye Franklin said: “God bless you sir.”
